You're wasting your time in this thread mate, there's no reasoning or anything in here. Like their idol they bay for blood and fight incredibly violently for 'peace' and 'freedom'. I merely tried to point out there always two sides to the story earlier and I'm suddenly all manner of things. I made an even bigger mistake when I started to show their idol isn't just some innocent bystander looking for peace and actively seeks conflict to promote his cause. That's what you get when you try and have a discussion with a group of people with a combined IQ less than half of yours and you happen to say something that doesn't tow the party line.
If these people are the alternative to the scum in charge I'll stick with the current scum thanks.edit on 15-12-2010 by AgentSmith because: (no reason given)

Appreciate the comment mate, cheers. Can spot these types a mile off eh, was totally expecting some rubbish comebacks. Honestly, most of the comments and views expressed here are just so OTT I can't be bothered to comment further.

You haven't tried anything. You've popped in and out when it suits, firing off character attacks at everyone and anyone.

Objective facts. Jody McIntyre is disabled, has cerabel palsy and was assaulted by the police. Opinion. Jody McIntyre is left-wing, cites himself as a revolutionary and was probably 'asking for it'.
You see who the facts support? The x button is on your top right.

Well I personally agree with everything AgentSmith said - couldn't have put better myself in fact. What is with these hardcore, activist views.
He "popped in and out when it suits"? - I'm sure he has better things to be doing with his time, unlike some.

Even if he had done something prior to being dragged out of his wheel chair, that something whatever it was did not break any laws because if it had been we could infer that he would have been arrested and thus him being brutalized in the manner that he was, was un called for so your argument is pointless.

Brutalised in what manner? Dragged to safety? Hardly the definition of 'brutal'.

Including yours I guess.

Hey my friend.... at the end of the day, these people actually think what the police did was either right or justified, and we're trying to show them/ reason with them as to how It's not.
What does that say....?
It's insanity, that someone needs to be coerced/debated or whatever, into somehow seeing it from our perspective.
What's the point?
Let them think that this defenceless, disabled man somehow deserved to be physically assaulted.
Something about assholes and opinions springs to mind.

Clearly one of the Police Officers in the video disagreed with you. You ignored my point earlier. Watch the end of the incident, you can clearly see one Police Officer forcefully dragging the perpetrating police officer away from Jody.
So it's not just leftists and anarchists who think the officer was in the wrong. Clearly, his fellow officer felt the same way.
I don't think the police should have acted like they did, but I'm not sure why people have this attitude that because he's in a wheelchair he can't possibly have done anything wrong?? Kind of discriminatory don't you think...
Seeing as he loves media attention though, it seems awfully convenient that whatever happened the police decided to pull him out of his wheelchair and someone happened to be there to film it. Should help with his short films and public speeches anyway..
Just to clarify again, before some dick accuses me of thinking there isn't a problem with the police or somehow it was acceptable, I'm not saying that the police were right - I'm just pointing out that the boy wonder might not be so perfect himself.

I think the blokes a bit of an attention seeker and I believe he wanted something like this to happen in order to get the publicity. BUT I still don't think they should have manhandled him nor did I say it was justified.. You're the ones say I did.. Perhaps you should learn to read?edit on 15-12-2010 by AgentSmith because: (no reason given)
